Find the intercepts to plot the lines.
Then look for the point of intersection, if there is one.

To find the x-intercept, set y=0 and solve for x.
x-y=6
x-0=6
x=6
(6,0)

To find the y-intercept, set x=0 and solve for y.
x-y=6
0-y=6
y=-6
(0,-6)

To find the x-intercept, set y=0 and solve for x.
x%2By=10
x%2B0=10
x=6
(10,0)

To find the y-intercept, set x=0 and solve for y.
x%2By=10
0%2By=10
y=10
(0,10)
